According to our compatibility rules we cannot backport the change as-is because it adds a new public function, and we don't do that in patch releases. I'd be willing to go along with backporting a version of the patch that did not make the new function publicly available, but adding a new API is inappropriate in a patch release because it means people who write code to the new release can't safely roll back to the previous release due to the missing function. -garrett
